1.Lesson #4 COPD
Mr. C. was admitted to hospital for respiratory care and monitoring of his respiratory status. Three days after admission Mr. C’s respiratory status deteriorated and was found semi-comatose. He was transferred to ICU for respiratory support with mechanical assisted ventilation. While in ICU, he regained consciousness and made a gradual recovery and was then transferred back to the medical floor. While awaiting his discharge from the medical floor he expresses to the nurse, “The next time this happens, I don’t want to and cannot go through all of this again, I just want you to let me go.”
Consider one or more of the following to discuss how you will address Mr. C’s comment.
